A mounting plate is mounted on the front end of the striking frame, and a servo motor is mounted on one side of the mounting plate. A striking wheel is mounted on the output end of the mounting plate.

[0006] Furthermore, the striking wheel is arranged in a circular array with protrusions, and bearings are provided on the protrusions.

[0007] Furthermore, the conveyor line is connected to the output end of the conveying device, and the inclined guide rod is connected laterally to the feeding device and the receiving device. The inclined guide rod is inclined towards the front end of the striking frame. In addition, a set of guide rods is connected between the feeding device and the receiving device. The guide rod is located above the conveyor line, and a leveling guide rod is installed on the front end face of the conveyor line.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution, the feeding device includes a feeding frame and a connecting plate. The feeding components are symmetrically installed on the inner side of the feeding frame, and the connecting plate is installed on the outer end face of the feeding frame. The inclined guide rod and the guide rod are installed on the connecting plate.

[0009] Furthermore, the conveying device includes an outer conveyor belt, a base, a second guide rail, an inner conveyor belt, and a cylinder; it is installed on the front side of the feeding frame, wherein the base is also installed inside the feeding frame, the second guide rail is installed on the upper end of the base, the inner conveyor belt is installed on the second guide rail, the inner conveyor belt is located inside the outer conveyor belt, and the drive end of the conveyor line is connected to the drive end of the outer conveyor belt.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution, a tray is placed on the inner conveyor belt, and the side of the tray has a groove. Each time the protrusion rotates a certain angle, a set of protrusions is located between the grooves.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a pallet surface material removal device, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] This equipment uses a conveyor to continuously push a tray towards the feeding device. During the transport, a striking structure strikes the surface of the tray. Due to the inclined guide rod, the tray is tilted at an angle greater than 90° (up to 120°) at the striking structure. Food that is not attached to the tray will fall downwards, while food that is attached will be vibrated off by the striking structure. At this point, the worker only needs to pull out the material at the bottom of the tray that has not been vibrated off using a stainless steel guide roller. This is a relatively labor-saving and automated process that integrates transportation and striking.

[0016] This device uses an extraction wheel with protrusions arranged in a ring on its surface. Two sets of these protrusions are spaced at intervals, and after each rotation of the wheel, the protrusions are positioned within grooves on the tray surface (see [reference]). Figure 9 As can be seen, this method is more efficient than the method of using cylinders. Attached Figure Description

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model. Example

[0029] Please see Figure 1-10 This utility model provides the following technical solution: a pallet surface material removal device, including a feeding device 1, a conveying device 2, a conveyor line 5, an inclined guide rod 6, and a receiving device 4. The feeding device 1 and the receiving device 4 have the same structure. The feeding device 1 includes a feeding assembly 102, which includes a drive structure, a servo motor 1026, a rotating shaft 1027, and an extraction wheel 1028. A striking structure 3 is also provided between the feeding device 1 and the receiving device 4. The striking structure 3 includes a striking frame 301, a mounting plate 302, a servo motor 303, and a striking wheel 304. The feeding assembly 102 is symmetrically installed on both sides of the inside of the feeding device 1. The drive structure is installed on the inner side of the feeding device 1, and a connecting rod is installed on the drive structure. The connector 1025 has a mounting plate on its surface. A servo motor 1026 is mounted on one side of the mounting plate. A rotating shaft 1027 moves laterally on the lower side of the mounting plate. Pullers are mounted on the output end of the servo motor 1026 and one end of the rotating shaft 1027 and are connected by a transmission belt. Extraction wheels 1028 are mounted on both ends of the rotating shaft 1027. The surface of the extraction wheels 1028 has protrusions arranged in a ring array. The striking frame 301 is located in the middle of the feeding device 1 and the receiving device 4. A mounting plate 302 is mounted on the front end of the striking frame 301. A servo motor 303 is mounted on one side of the mounting plate 302. A striking wheel 304 is mounted on the output end of the mounting plate 302.

[0030] In this implementation plan, the specific working principle is as follows: In the feeding device, the pallet is lifted by the protrusion, and multiple pallets are stacked on top of it. At this time, the drive structure drives the mounting plate to move downward, and then places the pallet on the conveying device. Then, the drive structure drives the mounting plate to move up one pallet height, and then rotates, so that the protrusion lifts the upper pallet. The conveying device moves the pallet towards the receiving device 4. Then, for each pallet movement, the drive structure starts to repeat the operation, and the conveying device moves the pallet against another pallet. The pallet passes through the conveyor line 5 and the inclined guide rod 6, which ensures the stability of the pallet transmission while allowing the pallet to tilt through the inclined guide rod 6. When the pallet is transported to the striking frame 301, the servo motor 303 drives the striking wheel 304 to rotate, which strikes the bottom of the pallet, thereby knocking the food off the pallet. Then, the pallet continues to move through the pallet transport on one side. In this way, the striking can be automated, which can greatly reduce the need for manual labor, reduce the workload of workers, and prevent the problem of lumbar muscle strain caused by long-term work.

[0031] Based on the above, to prevent the bottom of the tray from getting stuck during tapping, please refer to the following for details. Figure 3 As can be seen, the striking wheel 304 has protrusions arranged in a ring array, and bearings are provided on the protrusions.

[0032] To prevent the tray from bouncing off when struck while tilted by the inclined guide rod 6, please refer to [the relevant documentation]. Figure 3 As can be seen, the conveyor line 5 is connected to the output end of the conveying device 2, and the inclined guide rod 6 is horizontally connected to the feeding device 1 and the receiving device 4. The inclined guide rod 6 is inclined towards the front end of the striking frame 301. In addition, a set of guide rods is connected between the feeding device 1 and the receiving device 4. The guide rod is located above the conveyor line 5. A straightening guide rod 7 is installed on the front end face of the conveyor line 5. This can ensure the movement space of the pallet when it is tilted and prevent the pallet from flying off due to the impact. When the pallet is struck by the striking wheel 304, the inclined guide rod 6 ensures that the pallet tilts at an angle of 120° when it moves to the front of the striking wheel 304. At this time, the straightening guide rod 7 (see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As can be seen, the pallet is supported and then tapped to separate the material from the pallet. Then, through the continuous transport of the conveyor line 5, the pallet passes through the straightening guide rod 7 so that the pallet comes into contact with the inclined guide rod 6 again.

[0033] For details regarding the feeding device, please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figure 6As can be seen, the feeding device 1 includes a feeding frame 101 and a connecting plate 103. The feeding device 102 is symmetrically installed on the inner side of the feeding frame 101, and the connecting plate 103 is installed on the outer end face of the feeding frame 101. The inclined guide rod 6 and the guide rod are installed on the connecting plate 103.

[0034] For details on the transport equipment, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 6 As can be seen, the conveying device 2 includes an outer conveyor belt 201, a base 202, a second guide rail 203, an inner conveyor belt 204, and a cylinder 205; the cylinder 205 is installed on the front side of the feeding frame 101, wherein the base 202 is also installed inside the feeding frame 101, the upper end of the base 202 is installed with the second guide rail 203, and the inner conveyor belt 204 is installed on the second guide rail 203. The inner conveyor belt 204 is located inside the outer conveyor belt 201, wherein the drive end of the conveyor line 5 is connected to the drive end of the outer conveyor belt 201 (see figure). Figure 6 As can be seen, this allows the conveyor line 5 to be driven simultaneously during the operation of the conveyor device, thereby reducing the installation of servo motors and lowering certain costs. The dual-group transport is set up, and the inner conveyor belt 204 is pulled outward by the cylinder 205 after the pallet is placed, so that the pallet is placed on the outer conveyor belt 201 for easy transport.

[0035] Based on the above, please refer to the following for details. Figure 9 As can be seen, a pallet is placed on the inner conveyor belt 204. The pallet has grooves on its side. Each time the protrusion rotates a certain angle, one set of protrusions is located between the grooves (the specific grooves of the pallet can be found in the reference). Figure 9 As can be seen, this facilitates the extraction of the tray by the extraction wheel 1028.

[0036] For details on the drive structure, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 8 As can be seen, the drive structure includes a guide rail 1021, a mounting base 1022, a servo motor 1023, and a lead screw 1024. The guide rail 1021 and the mounting base 1022 are installed on the inner side of the feeding frame 101. The servo motor 1023 is installed on the upper end of the mounting base 1022. The output end of the servo motor 1023 is connected to the lead screw 1024. A connecting seat 1025 is movably installed on the surface of the guide rail 1021. The connecting seat 1025 is connected to the lead screw 1024 through a bushing. A mounting plate is installed on the surface of the connecting seat 1025. The servo motor 1023 drives the lead screw 1024 to rotate, thereby driving the mounting plate to adjust its height.

[0037] For easy collection, a collection box is placed on the ground in front of the conveyor line 5, and the length of the collection box is the length between the feeding device 1 and the receiving device 4.

[0038] To prevent the pallet from shifting during movement, please refer to the following for details on stabilizing the pallet. Figure 10As can be seen, blocks 8 are installed on the surface of the conveyor belt of the conveyor line 5. The distance between two adjacent sets of blocks 8 is the length of the pallet. The purpose is to prevent the pallet from moving randomly. Secondly, blocks 8 are also installed on the outer conveyor belt 201 and the inner conveyor belt 204, which can provide a better pushing force to the pallet.

[0039] It should also be noted that, see reference Figure 3 It is evident that there is sufficient spacing between the inclined guide rod 6 and the aligning guide rod 7 to ensure the transfer of the pallet.

[0040] It should be noted that the feeding device 1 and the receiving device 4 have the same structure, but different working methods. When the feeding device 1 is running, the pallet is initially lifted by the protruding block, and multiple pallets are stacked on top of the pallet. The inner conveyor belt 204 is then placed on the surface of the inner pallet by the drive structure moving the mounting plate downward. Then, the protruding block is separated from the pallet by the rotation of the extraction wheel 1028. The drive structure then moves the pallet upward by one pallet height, and then rotates 72° again so that the protruding block is located in the groove on the surface of the upper pallet. Then it is lifted. When the conveying length of the conveyor is equal to the length of one pallet, the drive structure moves the mounting plate downward and the extraction wheel 1028 rotates again, and the above operation is repeated. The receiving device is the opposite. When the pallet is transported into the receiving device 4, the protruding block is located on one side of the pallet. Then it is rotated so that the protruding block lifts the pallet, waiting for the next set of pallets to arrive. When the next set of pallets arrives, the extracted pallet is stacked on the pallet below, and then the bottom pallet is lifted. This operation is repeated.

[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
